Since achieving its first commercial production in April of 1997, Musselwhite mine has produced over three million ounces of gold. The 2010 discovery of the Lynx zone—a zone of higher-grade ore above the cornerstone PQ Deeps underground operation—has created the potential to significantly enhance economics and extend productive mine life. Exploration continues to test other high-potential lateral targets and extension of existing gold structures.
